If we're gonna run a real 3-4 defence like Bill likes to run then we'll need some big LB's and we'd need a few of them....the one's we got now are a little small other than Porter...maybe we can try Abe Wright at OLB next year too...anyway, here're some of the bigger LB's that we could take a look at in april. OLB's Shawn Crable- Michigan,6'5 241 Beau Bell-UNLV,6'3 245 Ezra Butler-Nevada, 6'2 248 ILB's Jonathan Goff- Vandy, 6'4 240 Ben Moffitt-So.Florida,6'2 240 Brandon Miller-Georgia, 6'4 257 Rod Johnson-Oklahoma ST. 6'3 255 Mike Klinkenborg- 6'2 240 Of course we could get a free agent or 2 but these are some of the bigger LB's in the draft. Ozzy rules!!
I like Crable, not only does he find a way to get into the backfield, but he is an excellent player on ST's which is another area of need. Another player that I have my eye on. He has the size and speed, he's good in coverage and was the defensive captain for Vanderbilt. Leadership is a great quality to have and Parcells said that he looks for that type of thing. I still prefer Gholston though.
I saw your post about Goff in another thread. I was going to respond but had to leave work. I really like Goff too! The guy plays with a lot of intensity. He has good size at 6'-4 235. Also runs a 4.63 which is good speed. He is a projected 2nd or 3rd round guy. I like the way your thinking L2G. We also share the same opinion on Gholston it seems. Getting these two guys would vastly improve our defense.
Getting both of them would be great, to be honest I wouldn't mind getting all 3 if we are able to get extra picks for JT or moving down.
Moffitt is a problem child: http://www.sptimes.com/2008/01/03/Sports/Linebacker_Moffitt_s_.shtml Baby momma drama
Dan Connor falling to #32??? now THAT would be a STEAL. imagine drafting Gholston or Long, then STILL being able to draft Dan Connor (at #32). i wonder if Frank Okam will fall, or some good, beefy DT.
I believe Rey Malauaga is staying at USC. I think you also have to add Chris Long to the group of OLB's. I attempted to explain my reasoning in the D. Harvey thread. Based mostly off of Al Groh's thoughts on his move to the NFL.
yea that would be great they call Connor a biger version of Zach Thomas and i really like ZT so im sure i would like Connor to i can only wish that we get him
Okam at 32 would be great....Conner at 32 will not happen tho...is he the type of LB to play in the 3-4 tho? Ozzy rules!!
